Well, Garry, it looks like you are out of luck in this matter. I had the same issue some time ago and I am afraid there isn't too much to do.
I have learned the hard way to NOT use that feature again unless I have a strong reason to - because mapping attributes via MIB Tools will create them on all models of the same type plus any derivate models. CA Recommends to make a backup every time before doing any changes and the only way to remove these attributes would have been to revert to the last save. I really doubt you can delete or modify those attributes because I am pretty sure they will be created using CA's developer ID and you can't do anything if the attributes aren't "yours". What you can do is: - Make a backup first of your catalog and model database - Try to find an older save (from before mapping the attributes) - Load the catalog db from there. Warning: by doing that, any modification you have made to models, attributes ... will be lost - so think very well if you want to do that. I am afraid that this is the only way to get rid of the attributes. In my case, my Spectrum db was messed up anyway and it was better for me to recreate it again. Now, every time I need some extra attributes mapped - I rather create a new model type and add those attributes manually there.

There are, as a consequence, a lot of pointless attributes now in the DB against a lot of models. Apart from MTE is there a way of removing attributes added in this way?
